Get into Rugby – Europe/Training & Education in Belgium

11/04/2014 - 31/05/2014

On the weekend of the 4th and 5th of April, the Belgium Rugby Federation organised an IRB/FIRA-AER Level 1 coach for coaches at the Rugby Club Pajot in the town of Lennik. This was organised in order to support the rapid growth of the playing numbers at the club with more appropriately educated coaches.

The club which was only started 2 years ago, now has more than 150 newly recruited players. 23 delegates attended the course and was delivered by Educators Raf Renders, Dries Michiels & Mathias Rondou. This course is designed to enable coaches to acquire basic skills so that players new to the game learn to play in a safe and enjoyable environment.
